    Our downfall

    Yep I did. The difference is palpable. We lose, or are robbed of possession very easily. One of the reasons I will not be too unhappy if Fleck goes. He is always getting the ball taken off him.

    Mowbray vs Pressley Last 15 Stat

    So, as long as we are clear of relegation and in no danger of going down it's okay if we lose 15 games in a row? Right! Get how it works now. :)

    Play Offs: Yes or No

    But then if the question is CAN we make the play-offs, then he already knows the answer and it's a completely pointless question. Can I win the lottery on Saturday? Yes I can. Can I die before Tuesday? Yes I can. Can I be prime minister one day? Yes I can. Can I say something nice about my...

    Play Offs: Yes or No

    It's just around the corner, can't you see?

    Play Offs: Yes or No

    Yes! Why? Because we can! All we need to do is win 3 in a row and then suddenly 7 wins in a row opens up for sure.

    Slim chance of promotion next year

    But it's all down to who comes down isn't it. Think we all knew that Wigan were going to be right up there challenging this season. We also knew that Blackpool might struggle. You just need to look at the infrastructure of clubs to give you some inkling as to what might well happen. Nothing is...

    Slim chance of promotion next year

    Indeed. As I say, we ourselves need to do very good business to be up there. But of course we knew that anyway, what with losing so many in the summer. Can't help but cast one eye over the bottom of the Championship to see who we might be facing next year.

    Mr Tinkerman

    It hasn't been changing the team that has caused our downfall, it's been the inability to adapt as a team and change tactics instead of keep sticking to plan A.

    Is the club cursed ?

    Two witches don't you mean? Joy Seppala and Ann Lucas.

    Now down to 10th

    No, but we're just outside the play-offs .... oh no, wait..... At least 16th will be massive progress on last year's 17th should we achieve that.

    Slim chance of promotion next year

    Yep. Totally agree. This was the season. I don't think we should be building our hopes up next season too much and I think we could be here for quite some time yet. We had it in our grasp this year and after being top 6 all year long really should have consolidated our place. Best chance ever...

    Is the club cursed ?

    No, but a curse makes Jacob Murphy shoot like a girl and Henderson fall over when through on goal. A curse commands that Sam Ricketts be picked each week, otherwise darkness and suffering shalt be inflicted upon the Earth for 40 days and 40 nights. A curse condemns Tony Mowbray to endure the...

    Now down to 10th

    Enough! This forum would be in meltdown if there was any chance we could be caught.

    Colchester (Home) Match Thread

    I thought it was out at the time and was surprised the linesman didn't flag. Hard angle for him to see though and from that angle it is not 100% clear anyway.

    Players for next season

    I like that line up. Very attacking!

    Our downfall

    Number 4 in particular stands out for me. How many times have our frail players been robbed of the ball and it's cost us? Maddison can't tackle, Murphy can't tackle, Lameiras can't tackle. I was watching Southend tonight. They had some very skilful, tricky players such as Jack Payne, but he...

    Now down to 10th

    Okay. On Friday we could have been 6th had we won. :) Yep, I mentioned the 'possibility' of dropping to 10th and now it has 'happened!'

    So where do we now expect us to finish this season?

    And a very dodgy album cover.

    "Realistic" free transfers or signings only

    Going to struggle to get 2 20 goal a season strikers and certainly if we are going to continue with just one up front, it might be a pointless exercise anyway. Which 20 goal a season striker is going to come here to sit on the bench? Think we need a 20 goal striker and then another Murphy type...
